Are parents Hypnotist?

Are you a parent?

If you are...I think you are a hypnotist...practicing Accidental Hypnotism.

When you do that constant repetitive instruction ... for your child's good of course...and you repeat it in so many ways...enticing, commanding, tonality changed, bribing, rewarding with praise or otherwise....and stopping only when you have installed the desired behaviour successfully.

Why...YOU ... are the hypnotist.!

Of course, we hypnotists use the word "suggestion"  but it is really an instruction to the subconscious mind.

And children are the easiest subjects where hypnotism is concerned.  They normally do not question in their mind as the belief system is just forming...they believe you because you the parent, is the authority figure...just as teachers are the authority figure that they accept when you send them to school. 

 Remember the first time they come home from school all enraptured with what the teacher taught?

Or have you not experienced disagreement as your child comes home and proclaims that the teacher is right and not you?  Like it or not, that is one of the first things that a school does to your child's model of the world

For that matter, the teacher is practicing Accidental Hypnotism too.

Parents, I welcome your comments
